Several question on DialupIP:

1. Page 13 of the manual talks about setting up the passive server. I assume  
that means I only have to deal with rc.slip and config.slip on the server side.  
But it mentions creating a special account with a special shell, though the  
details seem incomplete. What is account name? Password? UID requirement? I  
assume I use the UserManager to create this NetInfo account.

2. There are sample scripts for connection to a Xylogics terminal server. This  
is one option for me as a SLIP server. My understanding from my network folks,  
however, is that when I dial the modem pool (I am not guaranteed a specific  
connection), I am randomly assigned to a terminal server, and then randomly  
assigned an IP address from a pool of addresses. How then do I set the  
SLIP0REMOTE and SLIP0LOCAL variables in the config.slip file, since they are  
assigned dynamically?

3. Our campus has a network fire wall, so my terminal server prompts for a  
network user name and password for authentication. How do I work this into the  
script?

Thanks,
